The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), through its National Digital Literacy Framework (NDLF), has launched the Digital Literacy For All Initiative (DL4ALL) at Nassarawa State University, Keffi, with the goal of integrating digital literacy into the institution’s curriculum as part of its ongoing efforts to reform the economy for sustained inclusive economic growth and achieve the presidential target of providing 70% of Nigerian citizens with digital literacy and skills by 2027.
This program, which was started in partnership with CISCO and Nasarawa State University Keffi (NSUK), intends to support the president’s goal of 70% digital literacy among the populace by 2027 and guarantee that students at all educational levels become digitally literate before they graduate.

He stated, “It is a critical time for our relationship of building the ecosystem in terms of bringing the government, academia, and industry together to work together.”
He claimed that rather than just producing degree holders, Cisco’s assistance and government-backed frameworks would create graduates who are digitally literate and can integrate easily into the workforce.
According to Inuwa, Africa, particularly Nigeria, has a great chance to close the talent gap. The World Economic Forum estimates that by 2030, there will be a global talent shortage of 85 million people, which could result in 8.5 trillion dollars in unrealized yearly revenue.
Inuwa emphasized the President’s directive to drive economic transformation through technology and skills development, saying that developing a workforce with digital skills is essential to accelerating the country’s economic growth and development.
